2 HEALTH CARE - Thursday, October 27, 2011 Blue & Green at Halloween Thermography should work Municipality of Halton with mammography to www.halton.ca provide optimum health care More 2FCÏ0CEGML?J Thermography versus mammography. In reality it should not be about one over the other; one instead of the other. The desired effect we want to see is that these two worlds come together. One about disease and acute interventions; the other about health and prevention of disease. Therefore people need to educate themselves and be able to work with all their medical professionals (e.g. your MD and your ND or HD) as a team. THERMOGRAM · Functional test · Uses infra-red sensors · Measures heat generation/inflammation · No compression · No radiation · Non-invasive · Safe for pregnant and young women · Beneficial in large, dense and fibrocystic breasts · Average 90% sensitivity (10% of cancers missed) in all age groups MAMMOGRAM · Structural test · Uses X-rays · Detects lumps · Compression of breast · 1000 rads of Ionizing Radiation · Large, dense, and fibrocystic breasts cause reading difficulties. · 80% sensitivity in women over age 50. Sensitivity drops to 60% in women under age 50 Note: a cancerous tumor can grow 8-10 years before it is big enough and dense enough to be detected by mammography. Studies have shown that when thermography is used as part of a multimodal approach (clinical examination, mammography and thermography) 95% of early-stage breast cancers can be detected! Furthermore, women who have had inconclusive mammograms or physical breast examinations find that breast thermography can help to clarify these tests, therefore enabling women to better manage their breast health. Women with dense or fibrocystic breasts, where mammography is of little value, will benefit from thermographic monitoring.
